ca8210_xmit_async(9)

🌸 ca8210_xmit_async(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🌸

Okay so we're looking at ca8210_xmit_async, a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's a little one but it's doing exactly what it says on the tin. Let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

ca8210_xmit_async — asynchronously transmits a given socket buffer using the ca8210 🦋

Like, it sends the thing, but it does not sit there waiting for the thing to be sent. Async girlie behavior. We love to see it.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ca8210_xmit_async (struct ieee802154_hw *hw , struct sk_buff *skb );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• hw — the ieee802154_hw of the ca8210 you wanna transmit from 💫
• skb — the socket buffer you're transmitting, your little payload main character 🌈

---

👑 RETURN 👑

Returns 0 or a linux error code. That's it, that's the whole vibe check 🫶
